Every HackerNews post about IPv6 has some of the worst, most privileged, idiotic, vibe-coded, proprietary, ignorant, 16bit, capital-guzzling, unicorn takes I’ve ever known on the subject:

• IPv6 addresses are too hard to remember.
  So? You’re not meant to remember addresses, that’s why we have DNS, write it down, literally a non-issue.

• IPv6 is confusing and I don’t want to learn something new.
  That’s a personal issue buddy, either start reading or get left behind, that’s what you said about AI right? More things that you depend on this transition.

• NATing has solved the IP limit problem so there’s no point.
  NATing is a plaster slapped onto brain bleed, easy and cheap, but ineffective, it causes a wide range of usability problems, such as blanket IP bans, restrictions on self-hosting, connectivity issue for VPNs both private and corporate.
  To make matters worse, the effects are significantly worse in poorer countries, while Europe, China and the USA have a bounty of IPv4s to use (though China’s still aren’t enough), India has been on critically short supply for a while now with reports of multiple NATed network layers being issued. Imagine if you got banned from Valo because your neighbour 4 districts away got caught cheating.

• We’ve been trying for 40 years and it hasn’t worked so let’s give up.
  OK, we’re going to give up on solving world hunger too then because that’s clearly not getting anywhere, and the energy crisis too while we’re at it, just shut it all down.
  Just because you personally haven’t seen the progress or felt its effects doesn’t mean its not happening, people smarter than you have been working on this before you were born, and at this rate might continue to work on it after you switch careers to Goose Farming.

• IPv6 hasn’t worked so let’s just make IPv7.
  Insane take, despite how it looks, IPv6 support is extremely widespread and ready to go, the reluctance of big tech and ISPs is purely due to the cost implication and lack of enforcement, creating a brand new spec now would enforce another 40 year delay just to assuage your own personal opinion.

• IPv6 is a security risk because the router isn’t NATing.
  Misunderstanding of what NATing does. Even with a public-facing IP on every device, ports are still protected by the router’s firewall.

• IPv6 is a privacy issue because now you can easily identify every device in a home by its public IP.
  A valid concern, if it hadn’t been identified and resolved with the Privacy Extensions to SLAAC that randomises your IP address after a set time period, mitigating the problem to that of your NATed IPv4 Public IP, if not making it more private by muddying the telemetry waters.

Does Swoosh.Adapters.SMTP (the thing Akkoma uses for sending email) seriously not support IPv6!?

I tried configuring it to use both an IPv6 address and a hostname and domain name resolving only to an IPv6 address and it didn’t work. With an IPv4 address it works fine.

berkeley.edu.pl has successfully been migrated to a new server!

It is now hosted on a librebooted Supermicro X11SSH-LN4F running Gentoo located in my attic.

I like how akkoma 3.18.1 shows the visibility and time of boosts as well as the original boosted post

my CPU got stuck at 800MHz again, time for a suspend and unsuspend

With that being said, I will admit there's one LLM I do use, but it is one that does not waste my VALUABLE time.

It's the STANDARD ed...LLMitor!!!!

hi how are you?
?
please rewrite u-boot in python
?
????
?

I now have a "4G LTE USB Dongie WiFi"

(It's a UF896_V1.1 and I'm going to install postmarketOS on it)

test post please ignore

I created an alt account to use as a backup in case this server dies for whatever reason: @noisytoot

If you follow me on this account you may want to also follow me there.

LibreWolf seems to have removed the easy way to exempt a site from having all its data cleared when you close it for some reason so now I have to manually add exceptions in preferences

i've been keeping this a secret for half a year, but i can finally come clean now.

i spent months editing the entire star wars movie. at first i made subtle changes (colour correction, fake shot/reverse shot scenes, etc.), but as the movie went on, my edits got more and more absurd (extra powerpoint transition wipes, doom door open/close sound effects, etc.).

i can't upload the full thing for obvious reasons, but here's one of my favourite parts: the death star scene. spoilers for a movie that came out nearly four decades ago

I just ate glue by the way. No i am not joking today. I love being the dev of this game and having access to this account. Now everyone gets to know I just took a big big bite out of glue. Yummyyyyy ^.^ !!! Anyway Supertux 0.7 might release probably on 3.14 day. Or 3/14 if you're american or whatever. Or 14/3. Haha Pi get it ugh I dont even care. The taste of glue is still in my mouth. If anyone knows how to thoroughly get glue out of your mouth do say. The stick glue kind btw. Its purple btw.

Meanwhile in Osaka/Japan: over night, a sewer pipe rises from the underground, lifting asphalt.
Still unclear on how it came to that.

I did switch between two monitors though, that probably helped

RE: https://ck.catwithaclari.net/notes/ajojt88um1yd01wi

are there any other cases of linux man pages documenting non-existent functions that are not provided by any library and exist only as implementations provided in the man page itself, or is this the only one?

I have less than three weeks before the server I run most services on (email, XMPP, matrix, akkoma, primary DNS, forgejo, ...) shuts down and I have to move it, I don't think I'm going to have time to finish reverse engineering and replacing the BMC firmware on my new server before then
